NATURE’S THEME PARK
The magic of a Black Hills and Badlands family vacation lies within nature itself. Enjoy above-ground adventures or drop below into caves like Black Hills Caverns, Rushmore Cave, or Wonderland Cave. Summers are hot, so plan on splashing in the crystal-clear waters of a mountain lake, or stop for shady breaks while hiking among majestic granite peaks. These scenes are complemented by the charming streets of Black Hills towns, where treats like ice cream and candy are common stops. Visit Grapes & Grinds in Keystone, Two Cows Creamery in Hot Springs, or Rushmore Candy Company in Rapid City for that perfect scoop.
REWARD YOUR CURIOSITY
Ignite your family’s sense of wonder at eclectic attractions dotting the area. Have you ever experienced the peculiar phenomenon of gravity-defying water? Stop at Cosmos Mystery Area near Rapid City. Thrill-seekers will enjoy Rush Mountain Adventure Park’s coaster ride or the virtual reality zone at Sprockets Fun Foundry in Keystone. To add some friendly competition to your vacation, try Holy Terror Mini Golf in Keystone and enjoy this quirky course. The excitement continues with a splash at Watiki® Indoor Waterpark Resort in Rapid City. Additional discoveries await throughout the region — from E-I-E-I-O on Old MacDonald’s Farm to encounters with dinosaurs, fossils, and creatures of all sizes.
